I believe that association football is one of the most underrated card collecting subjects, although there has recently been a flurry of activity in the auction houses. Despite the fact that soccer is considered by many to be the most popular sport in the world, the values of its early football cards lag way behind baseball, which is mainly restricted to North America. Thomson produced card sets that would appeal to the readers of its comics, and association football was a strong favourite. The set of Thomson cards featured in this blog, “This Year’s Top-Form Footballers”, includes talented players such as Hughie Gallacher, Joe Spence, Manchester United’s prolific goal scorer, and many others who performed particularly well in 1927 (see below for a full list of players and the football clubs they played for in that particular year).
